Seymour and Sport for Jove present

Macbeth

22 Mar - 25 Jun 2027

In 2027, Sport for Jove unleashes a brand new production of Macbeth — physical, frightening, funny and exhilarating theatre for young people. Students will experience a dynamic, condensed production of the play, followed by a Q&A with the cast. Discover why a play written 400 years ago can still feel dangerously close to now

Macbeth is Shakespeare’s most atmospheric story and, as such, there is no more important play for students to see live – visceral in its language, searing tensions, blood on its hands, voices in the dark, prophecies, dreams and the terrors of the imagination, with a profound love story at its centre. 

Alongside its famed themes of ambition, power, courage, guilt, fate, political manipulation and the consequences of our choices, we are asked a much simpler and more eternal question – what if getting what you want is far more terrifying than losing it?

Don’t miss out on Macbeth in 2027!

“We recently had the pleasure of attending a performance of Macbeth at the Seymour Centre, and it was an outstanding theatrical experience. The production brought Shakespeare’s tragedy to life with remarkable clarity and intensity."
Teacher at Bonnyrigg High School
“The adaptation was excellent, being highly accessible and true to the original script with appropriate anachronisms to highlight character and plot.”
